+==== Productive flight ====
+
+**GEEKY UPDATE**: On the flight back to Europe, I spent some time to add lots of new goodies to [[GeekiGeeki]],
+including a nice grid view for photos, the possibility to specify css style for links and inline objects,
+and automatic generation of human-readable link tags from wiki URLs, which should make the wiki markup
+much cleaner.  As usual, these additions resulted in simplification of the codebase rather than code bloat :-)

+==== Guided tour ====
+
+Pictures of our day-long [[Pictures/vacation/japan_2009/Nikko/waterfalls_tour]] are now online.
+Our friendly guide, the Buddhist monk whose name I forgot, answered many of our pending questions
+about Japanese traditions and religion.  Hiking through these sacred mountains and woods was an
+enjoyable experience.

+==== Nikko Temple Area ====
+In the afternoon, we went to visit the [[Pictures/vacation/japan_2009/Nikko/world_heritage_site]].
 One would expect to grow bored of Shinto and Buddhist temples after seeing many of them
 all over Japan, but visiting the Nikko temple area was once again an extraordinary experience.
 And I could finally spot a few [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miko]]s too!
